Two cars start from towns 700 miles apart and travel toward each other. They meet after 7 hours. Find the speed of each car if one travels 30 mph faster than the other
***
let x=speed of slower car
x+30=speed of faster car
x+(x+30)=2x+30=speed at which cars are approaching each other
travel time*speed=distance
7(2x+30)=700
14x+210=700
14x=490
x=35
x+30=65
speed of slower car=35 mph
speed of faster car=65 mph
